Heritage Baptist Church

Pastor Nathan continues a deep dive into Hebrews chapter 10 so that we can better understand the confidence we can have in our salvation, which has been established by Christ Himself. If you have ever wrestled with the security of your salvation, please listen to this week and last for a clearer understanding of this important passage.

Hebrews 10:26-27 is a commonly debated passage because it seems to indicate that we can lose our salvation, and yet how could that be the case given some of the other passages in Hebrews and other scriptures? In this important teaching, Pastor Nathan walks through this controversial passage to help us better understand both the warning it issues and the security we ultimately have in Jesus.  

In Hebrews 10 we are told not to neglect meeting together as a church. What does this mean for us today? Is attending a church really that important? Pastor Nathan again walks through God's instruction for His church in Hebrews 10 so that we may thrive as a local body of Christ. 

What is the purpose of the church? While churches can look different all over the world, does the Bible give us any direction as to what is supposed to happen when we meet together? In this teaching, Pastor Nathan looks at the larger purpose of the church and the instructions given to us in Hebrews 10. 

Pastor Jeff teaches from Philippians chapters 3 & 4 and encourages the church of Christ to be united in our work together as Gospel partners.

In this teaching Pastor Nathan begins chapter 10 of Hebrews with the question, "what is a Christian?"

The resurrection of Jesus secured for us an eternity with the Father that brings hope in this life. Pastor Nathan opens up the scriptures to consider the first words of Christ after His resurrection and what they mean for us today.

As we begin holy week, we take time to consider the glorious work of Jesus and His ongoing work in our lives. 

Why was a blood sacrifice necessary for our salvation? Couldn't good works or religious ceremonies do enough? In this teaching, Pastor Nathan traces the necessity of a blood sacrifice to the pages of Romans 1 and the heart of sin that is in each of us at birth.   It's when we see the depths of our sinfulness clearly that we can truly understand the incredible sacrifice of Jesus Christ, w...

The blood of Jesus provides for us eternal security and perfection that can never be revoked. As our Great High Priest, Jesus endured the cross so that we can enjoy the glories of God in heaven.

In Hebrews 9, the author provides a tour of the tabernacle which is rich is filled with imagery pointing to God's holiness. In this teaching Pastor Nathan walks through this passage as well as others to illuminate the holiness of Christ in the Old and New Testament.

While the world around us seems to erupt in greater levels of chaos, Jesus speaks to us from Matthew 24 with these words, "do not be led astray...do not be alarmed."   In this teaching Pastor Nathan opens this crucial passage to encourage followers of Christ with these words and challenge those who do not know Jesus to trust in Him today.

The story of Mary & Martha in Luke 10 is a favorite among many because it reflects a common struggle between our need to sit at the feet of Jesus and our desire to care for needs around us. In this teaching, Dr. Gnanankan shares helpful truth from this important passage.

What do you think of when you think of Lot? The narrative of the Bible does not hold any punches about this man and his life of compromise and ungodly decisions, yet in 2 Peter he is referred to as righteous. How is this so? In this teaching, Pastor Nathan Fox walks through the life of Lot and examines the corrosion of his life and how it compares to the grace of God.

What is the Holy Spirit's role in your life? In this teaching Pastor Nathan walks through several key passages in Galatians 4 and 5 so that we can have a better understanding of the Spirit's work in our life as believers and also our responsibility to walk in the new life we have been given in Christ. 

Have you ever considered what actually happens when someone puts their trust in Jesus? What does that transaction look like? How does it occur? Pastor Nathan continues our study in Hebrews 8 with a look at the power of regeneration found in the New Covenant.

But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry that is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second. For he finds fault with them when he says: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant...

"Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,"  Hebrews 8:1

Pastor Vernon Smith shares an update about he and his wife, Mary's, work in Tanzania and then opens up 2 Timothy to encourage us to endure in our walk with Christ no matter what stage of life we may find ourselves.

Pastor Kent Gregory walks through the book of Daniel in order to trance the resolution of Daniel and other godly men whose faithful obedience stood the test of time. He ends with 4 biblical and practical insights on how to approach this upcoming year. 

In this final teaching of our Christmas Series, Pastor Nathan looks at the Christmas story to see a peace that transcends all time and cultures because it's found in the eternal Son of God, Jesus. 

"You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock."  Isaiah 26:3-4

Peace for the Christian is not a fleeting moment but a promised eternal state. Today Pastor Nathan continues looking at Isaiah 9 and shares about the eternality of the peace we have in Christ.

Often we view peace as the absence of all tension, yet the peace offered by Jesus Christ is far more incredible than that. In this teaching Pastor Nathan looks at the description of Jesus as the "Prince of Peace" and how the wholeness that is found in His presence is far greater than anything we could ever comprehend.

Pastor Nathan Smith continues our study of Hebrews with the conclusion of chapter 7 and the imaging of Melchizedek and Jesus.
